I love the Olympics. I really, really love the Olympics. By the end of the games, my DVR is full of great moments in time, which I refuse to delete for months. There is something about watching athletes perform amazing feats as I sit on my couch and eat ice-cream. It is comparable, although significantly better, than watching The Biggest Loser while eating potato chips.

A darling friend of mine, Noelle Pikus-Pace, is competing in the skeleton at the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. In honor of her awesomeness, I am going to dedicate this post to her, and encourage all of my faithful readers to support her by buying a really cute hat at snowfirehats.com. Noelle designed the hats herself. They are super cute (this pic is of Noelle sporting one of her designs) and help her with the costs of training, travel and gear.

So, to pay tribute to Noelle, and the entire Olympic Team, I have come up with:

The Top Reasons Team U.S.A. Will Win the Olympics

We have the cutest Olympians. Our team is H-O-T HOT. Seriously. When you add beauty to sheer talent, how can you NOT prevail? Don’t believe me? Check out the picture above of cute Noelle, and compare that to this weight-lifting Big Mama from the Beijing Games. She didn’t win and I doubt her picture would ever grace the front of a Wheaties box. Never, never, never would our Women’s Team look like this.

We dress for success. I recently checked-out the official uniform for the U.S. Snowboarding Team. It is denim and plaid– pretty stylin. Although, I think a close runner-up is the uniform my brother suggested- a viking helmet and a skater belt. (I think Brian pulls this look off quite well. See below.)

We’ve got the moves. You know you are going to be good at more than skating with a name like Ohno. I can see it now. Contenders from other countries are probably saying, “OH-NO! Look who is up next! I don’t stand a chance at winning against this Dancing with the Stars Winner/Greek God.” I seriously love the fact that Apolo’s parents named him after the God of Arts. With a name like Apolo Ohno, we are sure to take the gold. I think all of our Olympic athletes should be named after Greek Gods.

We have Colbert. When Colbert is on your side, you can never lose. I still can’t see why he didn’t make the team. He definitely has my vote. (Warning. Do not watch this video while drinking milk. I learned the hard way.)
